Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7

“Ohhh!!!! chimooo”, chioma’s mother said with grief ,shakes her head and sigh,then she continues”All what my daughter has said is all true,I was not in support of the whole idea,when she told me she do not love kelechi but his friend,I told her it’s a taboo to do so,and already she was engaged with kelechi,it’s won’t be polite to abandon him then go for his friend,there she told me the plan that she has, saying that she will marry him then after some years she will kill him,so his money and properties might be hers,then she marries chike his friend.

“I told her I won’t accept it,then my daughter threaten to kill her self, immediately took out a knife, that she will kill her self and I will be the blame of her death,and she been my only daughter I was afraid to let her do such,I had to plead to her so she could stop herself from doing what is not right and putting me in problem,as a mother I told her I will help her only if she won’t let the matter get exposed if not we will be in trouble,there I went to an herbalist man who gave me some charm concoction to add to his my son in law’s drink,so he could pass away,and people won’t know the cause of his death, they will think it to be like that,but unfortunately our whole plan back fired,am in so much regret now”,chaiii ewooo,

she bends her head with tears in her eyes, immediately her body shook and she slumped to the ground.

The women ran to carry her ,but when she was been carried ,they found out that some whitish foaming substance was coming from her mouth,while she was convulsing,her eyes were looking into the sky,with only the white side showing while the black eye balls inside the eyes was now hidden under her eyes,the whole scenario was like a drama to them,they were confused at the moment, they shouted her name,some clapped her face and poured her some water,so she could come back to life,but chioma’s mother body stiffened,then turned cold,just like a flash her body was black like as if she has been burnt with fire, immediately chioma’s mother gave up the ghost.

Everyone shouted,the elders shook their heads,some called her name ,some blames her that it’s because she went to the herbalist man that why since she was not able to kill the victim,she rather dies,and it’s true.

FLASH BACK

The herbalist man already warns chioma’s mother of the repercussion of not doing as directed by the herbalist,in mixing of the concoction in the victims drink,and which must be drank by the victim of their suppose,if by any means the victim excapes without drinking the concoction ,what will happen to the victim when he /she drinks the concoction will also happen to the person,and chioma’s mother said she will do according to plan,but did it work???

BACK TO PRESENT

That was it’s,but unfortunately kelechi excaped death in a twinkle of an eye,and now his secret enemies are paying for it,the people took away chioma’s mother body away,while chioma rolled her self on the ground crying bitterly,she was hitting herself on the ground that she want to go with her mother,chike was not believing all what that was happening,what he planned failed,he said in his mind,cause he was planning to kill chioma with his own hands,after she had killed his friend,then taken his properties and money to herself, but she was not a woman he could marry cause,she is a bad woman and a w---e,cause if she were to be a good woman she won’t try to eliminate her husband for another man,that means she could still kill him with a blink of an eye,or he turns to her house boy,which he won’t allow,he never loved her a bit,he just took advantage of her at every slight chance he got,but here all his hope and plans has wash away in a flash,he thought in his mind.

The elder who was judging the matter stood up again, snapping chike from his thoughts with his loud voice,he told chike that he don’t need to ask him anything again,since they all know how it’s happened ,but he will ask kelechi what plans are, kelechi stood up after the elder man called him up,

“He said with hate in him and said”I hate myself for marrying a woman like her, how will I know that she was this evill, cause there is a saying that says,not all that glitters are gold,I looked at her beauty ,her outward appearance but did not look at her inward appearance,I don’t know that her character was so bad till the extent that she could plan to kill me,after all the love we shared together,the money I spent on her,the house I built for us in her name,that after we have our children we will relocate to the new one,then refurnish the old one,and let it out for rent.

But I don’t know that she was preparing my death, but God so good I came back that day,and met her in a conversation with her mother planning on how to eliminate me,if not I could have not been here today.

Kelechi said and eyed chioma,who was still crying her eyes out,then he said”I will send a divorce letter to chioma to sign, cause am no longer her husband”,he said looking at his friend whose face was facing the ground but behave as if all was well,he continues”And I will bring in a lawyer tomorrow morning,to collect all my documents and sign it out from her name that she can no longer have access to my properties,and the house he built in her name will be cleaned off,with the documents that shows she owns the house.

By now chioma could not believe her eyes,she cried and begged kelechi but he refused,cause he already made up his mind to take away every thing she has access to,so she will learn when she have another opportunity again,only if she will have one.

The elders concluded ,and the secret C I D men arrested chike to their station,so he could sign a shortie they call it, that he doesn’t have any business with the family again,and if anything happens to mr kelechi he will be held responsible, when he signed it,they left him,but promised him that they were watching his every move,chike left and travelled away from that city to a very far away city when it’s was night, cause he do not want his neighbors to mock and laugh at him cause if shame the next day.
